Idle Brains and Hands.

Bishop Peck has lately produced some
prominent ideas about dormant forces
and idle muscles. He instances the
idle young man. No power comes
from his muscles. They were made to
be strong for work, but he does moth
ing. Devoted to agriculture, or handi-
craft, the physical force which is DOR
mant within him would give bread and
health and responsibility. As it is, he
issonly a nuisance; perhaps loathsome
object of pity and contempt. And the
bishop takes the true ground that an
industrious young boot-black is better.
and is better of, than a loalng miscre-
ant sprig of arstocracy.
Work is demanded everywhere. All
departments are languishing for want
of faithful, skilled workers, whether it
be making streets, saving wood, or in
the higher branches of skill and art,
and yet, witnesses the good bishop,
amid al the din of labor in farming,
manufactures. in all the Industrial arts,
these men have nothing to do! How
did other men get work? BY thinking
uu ckly and acting promptly; by seiz-
ing the best, tho first that came
to hand. Tramping, lounging, beg
ging, never gave employment to any
man. The thousands of idlers
have made themselves viciously
brainless. The lapse of powers, active
and bright enough in children, has
come of parental indulgence, german
dizing, laziness. indulged dependence,
drinking, disuse Or instruction. Grand
fields of industry, wealth and useful
ness lie around this idle, shiftless nui-
sance, but he cannot think himself into
them. He has lost his sole eyesight.
The very bread, money, comforts, ele-
gances he signs for are within reach OF
his hands, but he cannot see them;
wouldn't know them if he did see them.
But he does not only dcnounce the
idler, he tells him how to find employ.

that apple instead of eating it. Sell i,

chant, valuable citizen. Do not hang

Growing Fast the Wrong Way.

BY the recent census Manitoba has
les. i0people. In 1881 the Territories
were found to contain 1862. Thus
the total for population of Manitoba
and the Northwest is 157,000 In 1888
the government estimated it at 203.-
1872, in 1884 at 24S, l02. These figures
were based on returns of the Immigra-
ton Department. 1t appears. there
fore. that 9l,102 settlers have been
lost, TO say nothing of the increase
that should have occurred by birth.
BY the census of 1881 Manitoba had
1854. the Territories were credited
with Sc, 446, total of 122, 400 people.
In SIX years Manitoba has gained but
1854, including what is gained by
extension OF boundaries, and full
third of the total gain has been added

The INITIATIVE Young American.

That is very suggestive story of the two
little Boston boys of ''good families" aged
eight and nine years respectively, living in the
ancient and respectable suburb of RoXbury,
who having been deeply interested readers OF
the fine old religious classic, "FOXs Book Of
Martyrs" developed in a remarkable manner
the initiative habit of the American small boy.
With their imagnations kindled by the stories
of the martyrdom of the saints the little chaps
thought they would see how the thing work ed
in sort of kindergarten fashion, as 1t were.
Proceeding to the hennery of a neighbor they
''tOok two of his pet pullets, and, tying them
to stake, built a fire and roasted them to
DEATH"
This incident goes to prove that it is not
the dime novels and penny dreadfuls alone
that operate upon our impressionabe youth,
moving them to become miniature "Indian
fighters" and highwaymen. II "Fox's Book
of Martyrs" can lead boys to roast chickens at
the stake, why may not the influence Of
"Pilgrim's Progress" be dreaded? Fancy the
feelings Of the heads of good families" at
hearing OF the mimic production by their or
spring Of the deeds Of Giant Despair. or an
imitation of the tactics of the confidence chaps
whom Pilgrim encountered in his perilOus
journey! May not "Gulliyer's Travels" sug-
gest to the initiative instinct of the little
hoodlums n Lilliputian tormentng Of some
Brobdingnagian bully whom swarm of them
might overcome2 There are wonderful ad-
ventures narrated in "Mother Goose" that
would scarcely stand rehearsal in the nursery.
The Roxbury incident plainly teaches that
the boy Of the period needs wholesome adj
mixture of hard facts in his reading, and to
have his emulating instincts carefully guided.

Increase Of Cigarette Smoking.

Tho habit of smoking cigarettes
among public officials is alarmingly on
the increase. 1t is due, no doubt, to
the fact that the cigarette affords a
means of satisfying an appetite or crav-
ing for tobacco and affords enough
pleasure to the smoker to last for the
time it is wanted. "A cigar or pipe
is too much of n smoke" said an oiiic-
ial talking about the matter, ";n the
Office where you are liable to be called
on at any moments notice bv lady
or summoned into the presence of a
superior. In an emergency of the
kind the little thing can be thrown
aside. The cigarette, you see, is
cheap" Army officers as rule were
noticed to be addicted largely to the
habit of using the cigarette. They
find it cheaper in the long run than
cigars. Nearly all the young men and,
in fact, not few of the old men in
high social life can be seen smoking
them. Washington Letter.

made old before her time by functional irreg-

So as to fit the triangular excavations
made in the bone in the patient leg
1t was tedious work. because extra pre-
caution was taken that no condition
favorable to success was overlooked.
The bone was not as large as a human
bone, but as all the bone in the patti
ent's leg was not gone it was deemed
of sufficient size. When the triangular
extension had been satisfactorily cut
the dog was laid on its back and firmly
strapped. Its leg was drawn to the
patients leg and the the bones were
united. tho triangular pieces being
placed in the receptacles provided
for them.
The fit was only fair and some furth-
err cutting was done to make it as per-
feet as possible. Bandages were put on
firmly around the patients and dog s
leg to hold them together, so that
movement was impossible. The dog
remained firmly bound to table and

lasted three hours. Stimulants and
morphine were given to the dog and

little from the shock.

clusion that all efforts in this direction
was useless and became quiet as q

Was continued for two weeks under the
most antiseptic conditions. Both the
